UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ANDREW J. DAVIS,.OF HARTFORD, MICHIGAN.

COMBINED SASH HOLDER AND FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 258,898, dated June 6,1882.

- Application filed January 30, 1882. (ModeL) To all whomv it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. DAVIS, a citizen of the UnitedStatesfresiding at Hartford, in the county of Van Buren and State ofMichigan,have invented a new and useful Adjustable Window Stop and LookCombined, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to improvementsin adjustable window stops and lockscombined and it consists in the details of' construction and generalarrangement of parts, all as will be hereinafter fully described, andspecifically designated in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, and Fig.2 arear view, of my improved sash holder and fastener.

Letter A of Fig. l is a trough-shaped 'friction-plate, formed by bendinga plate of zinc or tin twice at right angles to itself, and is attachedto sash G by means of two grooves made in the edge of the sash, thusforming the window-stop, which is regulated by spiral springs D. Thesesprings are attached to a plate,B,set in a mortise made in edge of sashG, and adjusted by a thumb-screw, (J, passing through sash Gagainstplate B,by which combination a friction is produced, and I amenabled to stop the window-sash at any desired point.

When the window is closed it can be locked or unlocked withv myimprovement by means of a catch made of brass or zinc, bent into propershape, and attached to friction-plate A, (or stop,) as illustrated inaccompanying drawings. 1

| Letter E represents a brass catch attached to the upper end offriction-plate A, and formed with a slot in its face next to thewindowframe, so that when the window is closed the slot in said catch Eis forced by means of the spiral springs D over the pin F on the uppersash, and it can be unlocked by pressing against the bent portion ofcatch E. Pin F is around brass pin driven into the upper sash, H.

The rattling of the sash is prevented and keeping out the windaccomplished by tightening up thumb-screw U, and by the same means I amalways enabled to keep springs D in proper working order.

Fig. 2 represents a rear view of my improvement when separate from thesash, and shows the back of plate B, against which thumbscrew 0 comes,and also the position of plate- B in friction-plate A. Letter E showsthe shape the catch is bent into as it rests against sash H. 7

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a sash holder and fastener, the combination of the trough-shapedfriction-plate A, having a catch, E, on its upper end, with springs D,plate B, and set-screw C on the lower sash, and with the pin Fon theupper sash, substantially-as and for the purpose set forth.

ANDREW J. DAVIS.
